  1. The all blacks will be favourites to win, at least the next world cup, probably will be favourites to win the world cup for the next 100 years. They have been favourite to win every world cup so far.

    I hate to say it but I think they could probably enter two teams and play against themselves in the final.


  2. Wales!

  3. Look no further than the mighty Japan.

  4. I'm rooting for South Africa

  5. While I would love for Australia to win, I'm pretty sure it ain't going to happen. Otherwise, I hope think that New Zealand could be in with a good chance, especially with how they just went in the Spring Tour.

  6. It will definitely be a southern hemisphere team. I think the All Blacks will win but hope the Springboks do. Yes I'm a loyal Springboks supporter.

  7. Ireland 4 sure...give the rock to O'Driscoll, he knows what to do with it

  8. It has to be the Allblacks

  9. Springboks

  10. Interesting that you should ask a question and then get 'upset' when people give you the obvious answer!! You have asked who is favourite to win the world cup...... how can anyone other than New Zealand be favourite? Historically they are the most successful national team. They are the current no. 1 ranked team in the world. This year they have swept all before them other than in one game against the South Africans. This includes beating Ireland twice. Incidentally, Ireland have never beaten the All Blacks (a draw in 1973 was the closest they came), so for their sake, I hope they don't meet them in the 2007 World Cup.

    New Zealand are the current in-form team. Pretty well everyone who knows anything about Rugby will accept that the All Blacks are currently far ahead of any other national team. I think it was the French who recently said that the top two teams in the world at the moment are the All Blacks!! :-)

    Now, will they be so far ahead at the World Cup?? Who can say. Will they 'choke' or have an off day at a crucial moment?? Maybe. But, no one can possibly argue with a straight face that they are not the current favourites.

    PS: the All Blacks have never played a 'friendly' match in their lives!!!! :-)

  11. THE ALL BLACK FROM NEW ZEALAND , THEY  THE GREATES , JUST WON THE GRAND SLAM OF EUROPE.. 2006 as i am i 1 eye kiwi girl

  12. The main contenders are NZ SA Fr and Aus.

    Lets look at New Zealand. They have the best team in the world nobody can argue that fact right now. They have top players and the ability to adapt to any gametype. They have this psychogical thing at the world cup but sooner or later they will overcome that. I think its gonna be sooner as soon as next year actually.

    South Africa. Ahh yes the bokke. The country with more sport politics than well any other kind of politics. They have a good team a really good team. One problem though they never play at their best. Also they struggle to adapt to the Northern Hemisphere.

    France have a good team we all agree on that dont we??? They have home advantage so if they win we know why. They have been playing good rugby these last few years but not yet in the league of New Zealand. But they will be a force to be reckoned with.

    Australia if they win will it be a surprise to you??? They have been losing a lot of close games these last few years, but if there is one team that can never be written off its the Aussies. Their ability to come from behind and perform under pressure is legendary.

    Other teams Ireland Samoa and England

    Samoa have a good team yes. Very physical and if they can get out of their pool next year(with sa and eng) and judging on eng current form they will, they might cause an upset or 2.

    Ireland the one team in my personal opinion is gonna cause an upset or 2. They have a very expiernced team and when it comes to worldcups that counts a lot. Just look at the team Eng had in 2003. This team might win it, the only reason I said they are not a main contender is because they dont yet play at the level of the other top teams. BUT they have the ability and capacity to do so. Mark my words watchout for these irish men.

    Eng well then there was Eng. They defending champions never dreamt they would sink this low but here they are. They will need a miracle and more to win it.

    I dont think the Northern teams are gonna make it 2 in a row. This one is going to NZ SA or Aus
